Fhotoroom New Update and Now Free
 |
 |
The #1 ranked photo app has just released another update (v1.16), which brings some very exciting new unique features in each major area (social, editing, camera) of the app not to mention is now 100% FREE.
Possibly the most significant are the new enhanced features found in the updated Camera. These updates enhance the digital zoom to give much sharper results and now adds a new auto stabilizer to also help with photo sharpness. Auto stabilizer is presently on at all times and cannot be disabled. So this update clearly focused on enabling users to get better shots the first time around.
The photo editing got a major backend overhaul to allow for faster pixel per second processing, with some features being as much as 5x faster. With this new found processing speed, it was turned to allow for fhotoroom to work with larger images. In previous versions fhotoroom was limited to 1224 on the large side and now this limit has been increased. In addition to all of this backend enhancement the team at fhotoroom never leave you with nothing new to play around with and what has been changed on the front end is quite significant.
Fhotoroom previously used a row of numbers to control a filter strength which could have been a bit difficult to use, this has now been changed to a slider and a much cleaner and easier to use UI when editing. Some notable changes with the filters is the updated Vintage Frames, Tsar and Tsaritsa Styles, and many more.
Lastly the all new Americano filter which is a twist of the Tsar filter that gives it a bit more of an all American style to it is definitely a nice new addition to the collection of Styles.
Lastly social, we streamlined the upload process to be faster even though our upload image size is now more than 25% large on average.

Windows Phone now allows sending off-line Facebook Messages
A much requested feature of the native Facebook Messaging integration in Windows Phone is the ability to send messages to off-line contacts, a feature which so far has required the Facebook app to accomplish.
MimovilWindows now reports that some-one must have thrown a switch at Microsoft and Facebook, as users are now able to initiate and send messages to Facebook contacts, even if they are off-line.
The messaging app still complains that the contact is off-line and suggests SMS instead, but the message is still delivered to your Facebook contact when they come online.
The new feature shows that Microsoft does not necessarily need to deliver a software update to Windows Phones to improve the features of the OS, muck like product reviews suddenly became available in selected countries in Europe via Bing search.

Rumour: Microsoft pitching a Facebook phone to Facebook
Business Insider is claiming Microsoft is trying to pitch Facebook a Windows Phone as the long-rumoured “Facebook phone”.
According to BusinessInsider’s source Microsoft is trying to convince Facebook not to go down the custom Android build like Amazon, but to adopt a version of Windows Phone instead. The phone would carry Facebook branding, something like “The Facebook Phone, powered by Windows” and would have even deeper Facebook integration than Windows Phone has already.
According to BI a Microsoft Facebook phone would have significant advantages for Facebook:
- We’re not Google – Facebook and Google are direct competitors at present so making a phone that’s reliant in even a small way on Google would not sit well with Facebook.
- We know what to do and how to do it. Making a phone is not easy. You have to develop the OS, get manufacturers to build handsets for it, get carriers to carry it, market it, sell it, and ship it. Facebook has no idea how to do any of this. Microsoft does, and it will offer to help Facebook with all of it.
- We know everyone. Microsoft has relationships across the industry. Samsung, HTC, and Nokia are already making Windows Phones. LG was. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon are already carrying the phones. Microsoft spends hundreds of millions of dollars with ad agencies every year. It’s working with a logistics firm, Brightpoint, to get the product shipped to stores efficiently.
The advantages to Microsoft, according to BI’s source, would be:
- Some of the appeal is being able to drive mobile traffic to Microsoft’s online properties, particularly Bing.
- Microsoft’s grandest desire is deep penetration in mobile that will allow it to someday offer consumers a NFC-powered payments product.
- Microsoft wants to do something like PayPal, but in the physical world. It wants to get there before Google figures out how to fix Google Wallet.
- Microsoft is not particularly interested in the concept of location-based advertising.
According to the source the phone is not imminent, but Microsoft is hanging around until Facebook gets serious about its phone move.
Facebook PR declined to comment to BI on the rumour.

Share To Friend & Group released to the Marketplace
 |
 |
 |
Windows Phone has really good Social capabilities – the ability to easily share status and photos to your wall are one of the things that separates it from the rest of the pack. What it does lack, is the ability to easily share status updates and photos to friends and groups. With Friend & Group Share (wow! What an original name!), you can now do this with as little as 4 clicks. On top of that, the app is accessible from the share menu, so it’s very easy to share that special photo to your group or friend directly from the Picture hub or immediately after taking it.
Features
- Integrates with the Sharing capabilities of Mango.
- Recent photos makes selecting an image a breeze. You of course have access to all your albums as well.
- Recently used groups propagate to the top so they are easy to find.
- Recent friends have their own pivot pane so you can quickly find them.
- Trial is fully functional – if you run out of shares, there’s an option to ask for an extended trial.
Easy Album lands in the Marketplace – great way for creating Facebook Albums

Windows Phone built in functionality for posting photos to Facebook is great. But what if you want something a little more involved? Not just a picture with a caption, but a story told through pictures. This is where you really want to look at Easy Album – it lets you pick photos from your albums, edit them, move them around, add captions to them and publish them to Facebook. All through an easy to use interface.
Albums that have been created through the app can then be revisited and either be re-edited, or re-shared. Everything designed to make it the easiest for you to tell your story.
- Quickly select multiple images from your recently taken pictures.
- Choose any of the images in any of your albums through the photo picker
- Choose from half a dozen title types to overlay on your images
- Create empty “title” slides to add more information that’s easily readable
- Crop your photos to make them show just what you want.
- Automatic upload to Facebook as an album for sharing
- Share on your wall, through twitter, text or email
- Free to try! Only limitation is number of photos in an album and inability to crop.

Facebook App Update: Hands-On Video
The Facebook app was just updated today, adding a ton of new features, a new UI, faster performance, groups support, and more!
After this update, I can actually recommend the Facebook app! That is, unless you need instant messaging… that’s still nowhere to be found. IM in the Messaging Hub is alright, but doesn’t work if you just added a new friend on FB.
But anyways, the app is faster and has a new user interface that brings the classic three notification icons from the desktop version of Facebook to the mobile app. Searching for someone you’re not friends with also seems to be more accurate (and shows results in the same order the desktop version would).
You can also view and post in your groups and pages (which used to be non-existent in the old app), and you can view “likes” on items, and most importantly control your posting privacy so you can choose who sees your status update! Also, I’m not sure if this was there before, but you can view your Notes too.
Check out the greatly improved Facebook app in the Marketplace now, and show your Android and iPhone friends how slick the app looks!
BTW, if you are waiting for the update to show up, it is pretty simply to force by following these instructions at MobilityMinded here.

Fail++ Updated with Mango features – 2.0
 |
 |
 |
Fail++ is on its 7th release and has over 450 ratings and an average of 4.5 stars. It’s free and it’s glorious Fail++ gives access to about 10 funny picture blogs – with one added with each release (this release, the "Comixed" blog was added!). With Mango, the app is snappier, a lot of things run much faster. The design of the app also changed to work with a more tile-like experience. But the biggest change is that you can pin any of the blogs to your start screen, giving you funny pictures from each blog right on your start screen. Tapping any of these new tile images will land you directly on the blog in question.
Once you find that one really funny picture, or really offensive one, or really stupid one, you can share it with your friends through texting, email or Facebook or you can just add it to your favourites for later.
There’s also a nifty feature that allows you to vote for new features you want to see in the app in the "about" section. Right now the options are "Ad-free" version of the app, Search or Twitter support. It looks like "Search" is winning by a pretty wide margin.
Fail++ can be found in Marketplace here.
